Hi,

Please note that the original ID of the arthropods as Crustacea was not too bad. Recent molecular phylogenies place Collembola more close to basal crustaceans than to insects. Although there is no consensus yet about the exact position of Collembola in Arthropoda.
For an overview, see:
Janssens, F. & Lawrence, P.N. 2002-2008. (in prep.).
Are Collembola terrestrial Crustacea?

Dear Frans,

This must be one of the slowest conversations on the Forum. My inadvertent arthropod-crustacea-collembola connection must be a sign that I should have studied arthropod phylogeny! At this stage in my career however, I think I will continue studying animals with one foot and no legs.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
